Douglas DC-3 Four Fuel Tank Conversion Kit

File Description:
The default FS2004 DC-3 is configured for three fuel tanks, whereas by design the C-47/DC-3 had four from which to draw. Many airlines using the DC-3 commercially blanked off, removed or never installed one tank in order to maximise payload; they were usually operating shorter routes than were typical of the C-47 in military service, This conversion kit gives the option of restoring the aircraft to four-tank configuration, giving greater range for long duration flights. Offering realistic fuel management, this option can replace your default configuration or, alternatively, add four-tank aircraft to your DC-3 collection. Note that this file will only be of use to those pilots who like to set up fuel and payload properly before a flight; pilots using default FS settings of maximum fuel and full payload will find that the aircraft is over maximum takeoff weight in this configuration.

Pi1ggio P-166S Albatross

File Description:
Thanks to Andrew Spring of www.p166.com!! The third of the coming P-166 aircraft series. I'm going to built the whole family of these graceful twins. The Piaggio P-166A is a light small twin. An Exotic two-engined prop that sold all over the world including America, UK, and Australia. The S version is used by South Africvan Air forces. Comes with a longer nose and larger tip tanks for greater range, as it's a maritime patrol vresion. Its origin is traced Back to the Piaggio P-136, a light anphibian, wich the P-166 keeps the wings, the engines and the tailplanes. The first P-166A flew in November 1957. The aircraft is still in production in a slightly modified turboprop version, the P-166D-P1. This model is 788 Kbs with c.a. 23000 polygons in c.a.170 assemblies. Features Clickable Dynamic VC with non-planar throttle quadrant. Detailed internals. Fully compatible with FS 2002 (pro edition)

Modern Smoke Jumpers - Parafoils

File Description:
Thought there might be some purists out there frowning at the previous round canopy. I have completely reworked the FX texture files to allow you to drop a number of yellow-clad smoke-jumpers in the traditional free-fall arch position from the DC-3, JU-52, DeHaviland Otter, and now the C-130. They now sport the modern parafoil chute rather than the older round canopy. Editing the included text insert (door location) for the aircraft.cfg file will allow them to jump from any other plane of your choosing as well. I no longer have FS2002 so was unable to test this with that FS version. I wish to thank Mr. Pierino Primavesi for his kind permission in allowing me to modify the FX files he made for his Luftwaffe version of the JU-52. Visit his site at: http://www.ju52-3m.ch/ for more of the latest updates for the Junkers JU-52. Payware quality for free. You can't go wrong.

Bora Bora Airport, French Polynesia, NTTB

File Description:
The Bora Bora airport is located on one of the Motus, which surround the Island of Bora Bora. The Motus are raised coral reefs which act as break waters, and create the beautiful turquoise lagoons which surround the French Polynesian Islands. This scenery is a complete remake of the original, and is now much more accurate as to what the airport looks like. It contains the main terminal, a fire station attached to the tower with fuel tanks, open air hangar structures, two helipads, and wood stairs taking you down to the boat docks where you are transported to the main island. This is one of the most unique French Polynesian Islands with it's beautiful and interesting mountain structure. Using the terrain mesh by Rolf Keibel and John Applegate will tremendously enhance this part of the world in FS. It is available at Flightsim under the name fpsimesh.zip. Afcad by Ray Smith is also included.

Franks Updated Scenery Items - Part 1

File Description:
These files contain GMAX designed scenery items for use in FS2004 utilizing the new FS2004 BGLComp SDK. The true inspiration for these designs comes from Frank Betts over at Franks Hangar (http://www.flightsimsetc.dhs.org/) who originally designed these items as macros for use with Airport and FSSC programs. Frank was gracious enough to allow me to redesign them in GMAX for use in FS2004 and beyond. While I may have taken some 'artistic license' on a few items, they are basically identical to those designed by Frank. Most use the identical textures designed with Franks macros, but a few additional custom textures were added. All files also contain the original GMAX source files, so if you feel the need to alter or improve the fies, please feel free to do so. All I ask is that you share your improvements with the FS world as freeware. This is Part 1 of a series of files that will eventually update all of Franks macros to GMAX files.

CFM International CFM56-7 v4

File Description:
New version of the popular Boeing 737NG soundset, this time exclusively re-built for Project Opensky 737-800. A few changes except the new cfg is a new interior spool sound, making it sound a alot more authentic to the real deal. Also new roll and wind sound to enhance the realism. I've also added the "hum" you can hear just before the spool kicks. In this verion you can hear it from cockpit as the exterior remains the same. I've also fixed the spool pitch because i noticed that in the earlier version the spool was a bit off. The POSKY 738 has very powerful engines and take-off thrust should be like 90%. I've built it after a Ryanair video by Christel Jenny Sinsen where i estimate the thrust being around 90%. This by far the most realistic CFM56-7 soundset today and are very close to the real thing. Created with FS Sound Studio. Enjoy!

HB-CIS AeroLocarno - Swiss Cessna C172 ( Flight 1 )

File Description:
"Swiss hangar" is a large repaint collection for payware and freeware aircraft that will give you the opportunity to fly over the FS 2004 swiss and european sky with aircrafts in original swiss livery. Every aircraft is perfectly reproduced like the original one. Drawing are based on the author photo documentation or from photos available on internet (Airliners.net, MyAviation.net etc.). Hope you will enyoy my work! Happy landings! This aircraft, Cessna C172 HB-CIS, belongs to AeroLocarno flying school ( www.aerolocarno.ch ) and is based on the "Aeroporto cantonale di Locarno" (LSZL) , in south Switzerland, near the italian border, ideal place for wonderful VFR flights over huge Alpi mountains and beatiful lakes.As the adversidsment clearly say (in italian and german) this Cessna is mainly used to make tourist flights. It is strongly recommended the use of the payware add ons "Switzerland professional"by Flylogic, and "VFR-Airfields-Locarno" by CR-software for the most full immersion experience with this aircraft.

French Air Force Fouga Magister EAM 09.102 Dijon 1994

File Description:
A repaint of the magnificent freeware Fouga Magister by A. Chancel, J-P Langer, J-P Bourgeois, B. Dube and M. Hardouin which can be downloaded from http://restauravia.com. The aircraft is a true "must" for any FS addict and comes complete with a thorough documentation both in French and in English. This is yet another Dijon aircraft; it is depicted this time near the end of its service life, as flown by EAM 09.102 - as the Communication Flight of BA 102 was then named - during 1994. The fuselage roundels no longer have their usual yellow outer rings, service markings are rather derelict, and despite the painter's efforts the aircraft still shows signs of its earlier assignment with GE 315 in Cognac. Two sets of textures are included featuring two different levels of shine, so you can install whichever you prefer according to your own taste. An alternative layout for the rear 2D panel is provided too. See detailed instructions in the ReadMe.txt.

Bella Coola Valley Landscape Enhancements

File Description:
One of the most spectacular watersheds of British Columbia's Midcoast, the Bella Coola Valley looks pretty boring in its default FSX rendition and the oddly shaped default Bella Coola River cuts deep into the terrain. These files provide a terrain mesh made from CDED1 0.75-arcsec data (multi-LOD, with maximum resolution of 38-m grid spacing), updated land class, water class, and seasons files, and accurate placements of lakes, rivers, streams, roads, and bridges. Also added are the glaciers of the Monarch Mountain Icefield as well as several forestry roads and clearcuts in the side valleys. Main roads have vehicle traffic moving in both directions. Coverage area is N51*45'-52*40' and W125*35'-127*25'. These files are fully compatible with other landscape enhancements for FSX, such as FS Genesis North America terrain mesh, Cloud 9's X-class, Adam Mill's ground texture replacements, or Flight1's Ultimate Terrain Canada/Alaska.
